"Saafir, the raspy-voiced Oakland rapper who infused the rhythms of avant-garde jazz into his rhymes, died on Tuesday morning, according to family."
"Though their famous freestyle battle hosted by Sway on KMEL's The Wake Up Show painted Saafir and Casual as enemies in the public imagination, the two retained their respect for each other."
"Saafir is survived by a son - the rapper known as Lil Saafir - and a brother. No services have yet been announced."
